This is not the first time I've heard (or thought) of that defense but that does a disservice to any number of black, male stars who haven't had any scandals. This Cosby thing isn't a race thing (a good number if not the majority of the accusers are also African American, right?). It's a being a sociopathic, complete piece of shit thing.

What Eddie Griffin is saying about black character assassination is certainly true, but Bill Cosby is a serial rapist with multiple accusers and a settlement paid. I don't think anybody character assassinated him.

p.s. Michael Jackson didn't do shit

koab [8:27 PM]damn i thought you guys were good little cucks who would shit themselfs so a POC could peacefully protest

This saddens me to see this man being Torn Down By White America! I'm against rape, sexual assaults, molestation, etc. However, there is much more to this story that a lot of you wont even understand. The reality is this man ‪#‎BILLCOSBY‬ was getting ready to take over a huge television network called ‪#‎NBC‬. Which would have open doors for people of color to be on a major television station much more often. He was speaking on positive opportunities in the black community, on race issues and things he believed black people should do to get ahead. Then and ONLY then did these outlandish accusations from THIRTY YEARS AGO come out about him. One by one. When a black man is "getting too big for his Britches" Hollywood, White America has to stop him. Now he's been indicted on charges for something that allegedly happened 10 years ago. This 78 year old man is now in prison on a 1 million dollar bail for an extremely old UNPROVEN accusations. When he should be home preparing to die, because let's just face it, he's going to die soon and now instead of dying for being one of the greatest of all time! For being a positive successful huge black public figure, he now has to die with this stigma on him as a serial rapist. Same thing they did to Michael Jackson. The craziest part is that they don't even have to try hard because black people doing the dirty work for them. Working against their own. Believing the hype. Black men, comedians, etc making jokes and accusing Bill. Black Women going against him don't even know the facts or whether it's even true. Just running with accusations. Think about this ‪#‎StephenCollins‬ the father off "Seventh Heaven" was accused of and admitted to CHILD MOLESTATION and no one is talking about it. The show also airs faithfully on television still. That's what you call ‪#‎whiteprivilege‬. As long as black men are selling drugs and disrespecting our women; they are ok with you. The minute you try to spread positivity into your black community and make major moves they handle you! BE CAREFUL. Harlemwriter "LaTruth"

Everyone talked about Stephen Collins when it happened. People stopped talking because he admitted to it. That tends to happen. He'll never with again, but if you admit what you did, people stop talking about it.

They're both shitty people; but, difference is, Woody has been accused of rape by one woman, as opposed to Cosby's fifty. Also, LOL at misspelling "rapist" and "accomplishments", nice job anonymous-meme-guy.

Also the fact he wasn't married to Mia, and Soon Yi was never his adopted daughter.

That being said, what Woody did was still creepy as fuck. He may be an excellent writer, he's still a creep for macking on Soon-Yi like that. Go back to when he was doing stand up in the 60s, and the guy was a sexual predator back then. Rogan talked about it several times.

By the way, no one has whitewashed Woody for what he did, even if an aging, bitter, and unstable Mia might have played the whole thing up. The one who knows the truth about it is Soon-Yi, and she ain't talkin.

I don't really want to waste anymore time on the conspiracy but the whole "They're just trying to take down a powerful black man" premise seems flawed.

Yeah, Cosby was super influential 30 years ago but I think even without the Illuminati's interference, Bill Cosby's return to NBC probably would have been as influential and beloved as Michael J Fox's return to NBC.

And so an attempt to tie up one mystifying loose end only introduces another, even more baiting one: Bill Cosby? R. Kelly, with all of the baggage that comes with being R. Kelly, chooses to introduce into the conversation—as a symbol of a great father figure—Bill Cosby?

Naturally, I ask his perspective on what has been happening with Cosby. Though Kelly begins carefully, his deeper and truer feelings quickly seem to take over, and what he is saying is clearly just as much about himself.“Well, my opinion on that is, I don't know what happened. I'm a fan of Bill Cosby's from the Bill Cosby show, of course—who's not?—and for me to give my opinion on something that I have no idea if it's true or not, all I can say is that it was a long time ago. And when I look on TV and I see the 70-, 80-, 90-year-old ladies talking about what happened when they were 17, 18, or 19, there's something strange about it. That's my opinion. It's just strange.”

But don't you think that if they're telling the truth, it doesn't matter how long ago it was?“If God showed me that they were telling the truth, I would say that's wrong. I don't care if it was a zillion years ago. But God would have to do that, because God is the only one can show me that. No man can tell me that. No woman can tell me that. And when you wait 70 years, 50 years, 40 years, to say something that simple, it's strange. You know why I say that is because it happened to me, and it wasn't true.”

This whole article is great btw at illustrating what a batshit insane, sack of shit R. Kelly is.

ill Cosby's cautious effort at image rehab in advance of his trial on sexual-assault charges took another step Tuesday in a Sirius radio interview in which he implied racism and revenge might be behind the dozens of rape accusations made against him over more than two years.

In a 30-minute phone interview on The Michael Smerconish Program that aired on SiriusXM, Cosby answered one question with a direct answer: Will he testify in his defense at his trial?

"No," Cosby replies.

Cosby said his decision was intended to make his attorneys' jobs easier: "I just don’t want to sit there and have to figure out what I believe is a truthful answer as to whether or not I’m opening a can of something that my lawyers are scrambling," he explained.

(He also implies racism and some lying women as part of what is to blame for his arrest.)

Then:

Last month, Cosby told the National Newspaper Publishers Association news service in an email interview that he hopes to resume his entertainment career after the trial.

"I think about walking out on stage somewhere in the United States of America and sitting down in a chair and giving the performance that will be the beginning of the next chapter of my career," Cosby said i

"I think about walking out on stage somewhere in the United States of America and sitting down in a chair and giving the performance that will be the beginning of the next chapter of my career," Cosby said

Apparently some people on the jury think there should have been an acquittal because they couldn't come to a unanimous vote.

I didn't see any of the trial so no clue what evidence may or may not have persuaded someone in either direction, but the fact it took nearly a week and still no official verdict makes me think attorneys on both sides dropped the ball.

I've simply reached the point of cynicism where I never expect a man to ever be found guilty of rape, regardless of how much evidence is against him, especially when that man is rich. Same as how I never expect a cop to be convicted of killing a black man, even when there is video evidence.

After narrowly avoiding a sexual assault conviction thanks to two jury holdouts, Bill Cosby is taking up a new venture. According to Cosby reps Andrew Wyatt and Ebonee Benson, the 79-year-old wants to travel the country educating the youths on how to avoid getting accused of rape.

The male juror -- who spoke with Philadelphia Inquirer -- said Constand should have been "dressed properly" when she went to Cosby's home. Constand apparently was wearing a top with the midriff exposed.

The juror felt Constand was interested in a romantic relationship, in part because she brought a gift -- incense. The juror felt she should have "left the incense in the store" if this was just a friendship.

I think he knows the drugging and raping is wrong. This isn't the 'brush on the shoulder' the reps reference in the Bill Corby link. A few of the women have stated that he would react in ways that showed he knew what he was doing, that he was getting away with it, and that there was nothing they could do about it.
